Symptoms

ABS Light Comes On

The ABS light indicates to the driver when the ABS system is turned off. A low or flat tire can trigger this because the vehicle's computer is recognizing a situation where the ABS needs to be turned off.

Vehicle Pulls to One Side

A low or flat tire will set the axle on a diagonal, causing the vehicle to pull to one side.
